Mohamed Al-Fayed, Controversial Egyptian Tycoon and Former Harrods Owner, Dies at 94

Mohamed al-Fayed, the Egyptian billionaire who owned Harrods and promoted the conspiracy theory that the British royal family was behind the death of his son Dodi and Princess Diana, has died at the age of 94. Al-Fayed, who was known for his self-invention and controversial statements, spent years trying to prove that Diana and Dodi were murdered in a car crash in Paris in 1997. Despite owning prominent establishments like Harrods and the Ritz hotel in Paris, he was always considered an outsider in Britain.
